I think it's looks professional. My dad always had his full first and last names along with middle initial on all his business cards.
Personally I don't bother with it. |

W. Goodwin Thornton doesn't make sense.
William G. Thornton, Jr. sounds much better.

What's pretentious is walking around in public with a cell phone stuck to the side of your face and you're saying stuff like, "Tell them that they need to get that deal done because millions of dollars are at stake and I don't want to have to fly over there again to take care of this problem myself. Hold on a minute, I've got another call. ... Yeah... Sell ten thousand shares when it hits 71...."
That's pretentious.

I work with a guy who's named after his father, but instead of the junior thing he just goes by his middle name.

I am sorry but your average middle class person doesn't have a "legacy" their child needs to carry on through the same name. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
